Hi
I have a client/server setup working using SDL_Net - works great !! Now I
would like to copy binary data from the server to the client, for doing
things like ensuring the client has the latest version of graphics and game
data.
I have a few questions I hope you can help me with.
Whats the largest size file you can throw at SDL_Net ? Does the underlying
TCP stack break the file into packets and then reassemble them at the other
end, or will I need to break the file up myself and send it bit by bit ? And
if so, whats the largest size packet I can use ?
For copying a SDL_Surface across the network, I thought I could just send
the pixel data to the client and then use SDL_CreateRGBSurfaceFrom to create
a ‘local’ SDL_Surface. How do I work out the size of the pixel data ? Is it
height x width x depth ?
Thanks for any help
